Squash — Restaurant in Portimão

We ate here twice on our 7 day trip to Portugal. I only wish we had discovered this restaurant sooner! Although we only discovered it 2 days before we were due to leave Portugal, it was so good we went there both nights. I think the entire table agreed that the best dish was, by far, the wild boar and plum stew. Although the other dishes were cooked to an excellent standard, the wild boar and plum stew stood out. The boar fell apart with the slightest touch, and I could even go as far as to say it melted in the mouth. It was served with rice and vegetables. Because it came in a casserole dish and with a serving spoon, the entire table got to taste it! The waiters were brilliant too. They were friendly, funny, and overall a delight to talk to (nothing like the waiters you usually get, who mindlessly take the order, give you the food, and don't do anything more). One of the waitresses even gave my mum a clothing catalogue, as the waitress also worked for a clothing designer (which my mum was very interested in). Overall, I'd say this restaurant is one of the best I've been to (and I've been to lots of...

2 weeks in Portugal traveling from Lisbon to up north, back down to Algarve and when I say this was my number one restaurant from food to experience - I mean it. We stumbled across Squash when looking for a last minute place to eat after exploring Praia da Rocha. With the reviews and photos of the food found here on google we thought it was definitely worth a try and we were by no means disappointed! The owner greeted us and accommodated us to having an outdoor table. Start to finish, service was impeccable and probably among the best we had during our entire trip. The food was absolutely delicious - we started with shrimp cocktail and had the tiger prawns plus the Portuguese style filet as our mains. You can tell this place really puts a priority in quality of ingredients. Deserts were delicious and the owner treated us to local port wine. Overall fantastic experience and...

I am rarely inspired to write reviews, but this restaurant was exceptional. The staff were so genuinely warm & welcoming, and made my partner and I feel so well looked after, they went above and beyond to make our experience special. We ordered the Snapper & King prawns, both prepared & cooked to absolute perfection- It was actually the best tasting seafood i've had- so clean & fresh, and a clear respect for the way they prepare the seafood & vegetables. I think the Chef must put a lot of love & intent into the art of preparing such fine food, really honouring the ingredients they work with. Oh and the potatoes were divine too. Also worth a mention is the olive oil they brought out with the bread to start with, had some local Portuguese salt added to it, perfection. Many thanks to the staff all round, already looking forward to...
